Guess what I’m trying to say is I need a lever that fits on the end of the takedown plug for a 45-70 3/4 mag tube style.  Any help locating one, or the whole plug appreciated.  As you can figure, someone took a hammer to the takedown lever and broke it off.  Don’t have the leftover part either.

Thanks

Andy

I saw the homestead one, but says out of stock.  Meeting with a gunsmith buddy this next week to see if he can construct a lever onto the nub that’s left.  Mine is rounded on the top for 3/4 tube.  I can’t find a repro anywhere.

Should make a nice 45-70 when done.  Letter ordered from Cody.
